Models Who Were One-Hit Wonders

[intern22]

You guys are really starting to confuse me with some of the girls you are referring to as one hit wonders. Erjona ala, magda laguinge, and a few other names I'm hearing have not faded at all. Just because a girl isn't doing 40+ shows per season and booking blue chip campaigns does not mean she has fell into obscurity. Just chill you guys

Agreed, a girl doesn't have to be walking a huge multitude of shows to stay on top. A lot of these girls are very young and have other things to do in their lives, which IMO are more important than modeling.

I wonder when we can put Hailey Clauson here? she practically didn't do anything after fall 2012.

I think she definitely can join the list. She has a few editorials but quickly faded although is still in ny. She turned 18 and probably wants to do VS but I doubt that will happen.

She and her parents kind of undermined her career with that lawsuit (or did they just threaten to sue?) against some photographer for pictures they thought were too randy.

Ehem ...Lily McMenamy. Give her 15 minutes.

could we please make it 10.... ??

She was already flopping when that happened though.

About Lily, I hope she'll be gone by next season but attention seeking designers like Marc, Hedi and Karl seem to be willing to work with her.

 

[Pricciao]

yeh, but I have to admit she looks better and better. I wouldn't say her appearance is unbearable. you see how fabulous Daphne Groeneveld has become. I can wait a season or two for her growth.

^ but imo Daphne looked better when she started and actually hasn't changed that much

and about Hailey Clauson, was she even a hit?? i mean the biggest thing she did was the Gucci campaign but she was barely featured in it.. and speaking of Daphne, Hailey just became her lookalike she was totally overshadowed by Daphne

for me, the better examples of "one hit wonders" recently are Kristina Salinovic and Elza Luijendik.. maybe Ruby Jean Wilson if she doesn't do something relevant for the rest of the year

Hailey was pretty hyped spring 2011 to fall 2011. then her father's lawsuit happened. even though Dior and Chanel still booked her in spring 2012, it's obvious her print work decreased past fashion week. in 2011, she appeared consistently in Vogue and others, Gucci, DSquared, Top Shop... , I would say she actually had her time once.

What about Laura Kampmann?

What about Laura Kampmann?

Laura has slowed down a lot, but her time isn't over yet. There are strong indications that she's in the Valentino campaign this season and that's quite a big campaign.
But I don't think it will be on the level of CK/Balenciaga exclusive, Balenciaga campaign and Vogue Italia cover ever again.

 

[ad31214]

Elza Luijendijk for sure.

Is that the standard for modeling now days? Lets be honest, bearable or not, Lily would not come close to a runway was she not a daughter of her mother. And as painful as it is for me to say this, I don't think her 15 minutes are up. And like anlabe32 said, since some of those people working with her, she may stick a bit longer.

Also, Hailey was definitely super hyped at one point a couple years ago. I don't know if it was the lawsuit that killed her career, but it probably didn't help.

 

[Pricciao]

I was terrified when Daphne debuted, and Lindsey Wixson. totally ignore these two girls until last year. so I can say that I guess.

Sophie Srej... Not really a one-hit wonder, she had a few decent seasons, but she's not on the same level as she used to be...

 

[Legolas]

True, but she is not a one hit... so she doesn't belong here.

 

[ad041715]

I don't think Sophie ever even had a 'hit'...

 

[Legolas]

Indeed...

^^ Calvin Klein exclusive and Daisy Fragance by Marc Jacobs. 2 hits, not 1 xD
